Here's the recipe I promised. It's for baked stuffed apples. This makes an excellent breakfast, or topped with ice cream, a tasty dessert. It has about 225 calories per apple.
Maple Pecan Stuffed Apples
Gather pecans, pretzels, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and four medium sized crisp, juicy apples, preferably organic. I used gala and cameo. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix the following together:
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup crushed pretzels
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Core the four apples, using a small spoon to scoop out all of the seeds. Stuff the apples with the nut/pretzel mixture. Place in loaf pan with 1/2 cup of water in the bottom. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or so, until tender. Cool slightly and top with ice cream or eat as is. Enjoy!
On Saturday, when QG was cutting the grass, he discovered this beautiful wild strawberry growing in the back yard. You never know what delightful surprise life is about to throw your way. Keep watch!
